    I think any of the end of roster guys have a chance to go.

    Right now, if Smith's return is iffy, he is the obvious one to go. After that, I'd imagine that, for a playoff run, they'd value guys who actually got minutes this year like Casspi and Garcia, over those who didn't. I am thinking Troy Daniels, even though he just signed recently and is someone the team likes to a degree, has a chance to go. Covington, too. Just my guess though.

    The problem here is long-term prospects. I was a big fan of Granger (really good two-way player, signed a cap friendly contract) before, however he's been injured the last 2-3 years and it's obvious from the way he's playing he hasn't recovered yet. He might only be back to form next year, unfortunately he's also gonna want a nice contract and you don't really want to pay someone that type of money.

    And even if he does come back to form, Granger was never really a lights out shooter, even if he's generally better than Hamilton, Hamilton is still the superior shooter and that's a guy we need more than someone than Granger.

    That's weird. Seems to suggest Morey is a knee jerker. Hamilton has played well for the past 2 games. Just 2 games. Surely that's too small of a sample size? I remember Casspi going HAM in pre-season that got clutchfans excited and now people call him Asspi or Trashpi.

    Does this mean the Clippers have to drop someone because they are over the Roster limit? I mean common. They just signed Big Baby

    jordan hamilton has played well so far.

    But I was kind of hoping to see Covington. Seems like a real soul crusher for him. Playing fantastic. all-star mvp... I mean, you literally can't do any more than that.

    In fact I was hoping to see covington and daniels.

    Wouldn't mind to pick up Mullens, with Greg Smith out.
    I'd rather sign him than Camby ... :rolleyes:

    The ideal buyouts would be Casspi and Garcia but that will not take place. The team needs to upgrade the bench in order to compete the rest of season. This is last day to buyout and add someone in time for March 1st deadline of being able to play that player in the playoffs.

    Was told today that Granger just didn't want to come. Morey spoke to him and Danny said he wouldnt get enough time in Houston.

    Look like Gordon may be the Rockets guy.
